In the left foreground, a woman with long dark hair stands in profile wearing an orange-saffron sari with a wrapped shawl and a bangle on her wrist, gesturing with her hand toward a raised stone platform. On the platform sits a large black Shiva lingam draped in a green cloth with orange and gold borders, crowned with a red-orange cloth and adorned with a white and red garland. Behind it stretch rows of many black lingams on pedestals, a corrugated roof and a brick boundary wall appear at right, and the distant hill is covered with green vegetation.2012-07-24September 15 20122012-09-15October 04 20122012-10-04July 24 20122012-07-24October 04 20122012-10-04A photograph of a person standing barefoot on a mat, seen from behind, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and a matching orange shawl draped over the shoulder, with a dark rudraksha-style bead necklace and hair tied in a bun. Facing a large field of black stone lingams arranged in rows on a raised platform, with a wooded hill behind and a low red-roofed building. Beside the mat are a brass bell, a brass oil lamp and a garland of white and red flowers.
